Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. Prepare the garlic heads by peeling off only the loose, papery outer skin, keeping the heads intact.
  3. Brush each garlic head liberally with olive oil to help it brown and soften.
  4. Place the garlic heads in a small, shallow baking dish and roast for about 20 minutes, until the cloves are soft and the exterior is lightly browned.
  5. Allow the roasted garlic to cool slightly, then squeeze the soft cloves out of their skins into a blender or food processor.
  6. Add the mashed silken tofu, minced parsley, white wine vinegar, finely chopped shallots, sea salt, and olive oil to the blender.
  7. Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy.
  8. If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time while blending until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or vinegar if needed.
  10. Serve immediately or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to one week. Bring to room temperature and reblend before serving if it thickens.
